How to prevent sub-folder being created when cloning? #2135

Closed s22-tech closed 1 week ago

s22-tech commented 1 month ago

I just downloaded Fork and cloned a repository. When I did, a sub-folder was automatically created and all the files placed into it. I didn't want them in a subfolder, so I moved all the files up one level to the folder I had selected for cloning and then deleted the subfolder Fork had created.

Naturally, Fork couldn't find the files after that.

I was able to solve this using git via iTerm2 but I'd like to be able to do it directly in Fork. How can I clone a repository directly into a folder of my choosing without Fork creating a subfolder?

Thanks, Marc

P.S. Beautiful app, btw!

MacOS 13.5 Fork 2.41.2

The Clone dialog allows to edit the location

OK, thanks. I must have missed that.

Is there a way to fix it "after the fact", or will I need to delete it and start again?

Move the repo on disk, then open the new location from Fork (or drag the folder to Fork).
